Immediately felt comfortable in the shop and was invited to pull the dresses I wanted to try on while Mia was tied up with a final fitting. Then another client walked in as well and she did her best to make both of us feel welcome and valued. It turned into a small dress fitting party while we both tried our selections on. The dress I chose I had seen elsewhere, but the store had not taken the time to properly fit me and I did not like the dress. I almost did not try it on again, but Mia was positive it would look great, so I complied. Mia was right and I said yes the gown! I would highly suggest stopping in if you are looking for evening wear or even just a cute anytime dress.

This review is based solely on customer service at this establishment. The wares are beautiful and…read morewell curated, and although pricey, they're great pieces. But I was appalled with how I was treated by one of the employees there. I had been chatting with one of the owners, I think- Ariel? She was sweet as could be and shared my enthusiasm over an amazing eggplant wool dress and coat from the fifties. She told me the price and after admiring it I decided to try it on. By this time, Ariel had stepped out and another female employee stepped in. I remarked to her that it was so beautiful and I'd like to try it on, to which she sneered, very obviously looked me up and down, and said, "well, it only really fits a size 2...". Not that it makes any difference what size I am, but I'm between a 4 and 6 and was appalled at her rudeness. I asked the waist measurement (it was definitely larger than a 2) and she didn't know. When I said I'd like to give it a try, she scoffed and said, "well, it's $250, so don't force it". Excuse me?! How dare she say something like that! I'm not a child who is unaware of the delicacy of vintage clothing, and am not disillusioned about my size- I did try it on and it all fit except for the bust, because the waist was very high up on the dress and I have a long torso. The girl asked if it fit, and I told her the bodice was too short, and she replied that the original owner was very short and petite. That's what she should've told me about the size-I'm tall, around 5'9", and it would be very obvious it wouldn't fit if it was tailored for a short woman. Instead she made it about weight with her tone and comments. She then tried to get me to try on the original clothing line, saying it goes well with an "hourglass" shape, but I was so furious and embarrassed that I left. No one should be commenting on anyone's size, no matter how veiled, and to assume I would damage the garment? Uncalled for, unacceptable, and just plain mean. It was not said out of concern for the dress- it was malicious and very ill intended. I also felt like she was insinuating I couldn't afford it, anyway. I'll not return to be treated to poorly, and that's a shame, because this shop has potential.

However the most exciting bit is the original Earl Salko lines of clothes by Ariel, who is always there at the sewing machine and helping people find something. I bought a dress here after admiring the simple lines and unfussy design of a dress in the window. I didn't have time to try it on, and when it didn't look just right (too shiny for daytime wear) I brought it back and Ariel exchanged it for a more work-appropriate dress, no problem. Everyone who works here is super sweet and goes out of their way to help you in a non-intrusive manner. Joyously recommended to fans of vintage and super-simple, locally made clothes.

HOWEVER, major turn off: sales girls following you around ! I am just like Molly M., I can stay in a store for a long time but not this one because they are just hawking you. I once was trying on something in the fitting room and I wanted to come out and show my boyfriend but when I first peeked my head out, there were 2 sales girls also waiting outside staring at my door! too awkward for me, so i bought it without showing him. Is it bad for me to say this ? But being that it's an asian owned/worked store, it's kind of normal that they follow you around like that -__- I've had many of these experiences.. even in Bangkok.
